A week into my new job!
I'm a week into my new job, and so far I'm loving it!
Sure, it's at a gas station and it's minimum wage, but the feeling of peace more than makes up for everything. And I will be getting regular raises too! People who have seen me since I left my last job have commented on how much better I'm looking due to the lack of stress. I'm smiling a LOT more and I can actually sleep at night without worrying about getting yelled at by HOM or being thrown under the bus by her.
I'm also finding that I want to actually do stuff again! Not just going to and from work and then sitting in front of my nerdbox for hours while not really doing much of anything. I actually spend more time away from my computer than I ever used to in the past! Going for walks just for the heck of it hasn't been a thing for years, but now if the weather is nice I'm at least going for a trek around the block. And I've started back drafting sewing patterns for my cosplayer kid, with the plan to make a few items for myself
I have already started budgeting for the fact that my pay is lower, and I know that no longer taking a taxi twice a day and spending at least $10 a day on food will certainly help a great deal. I've got a bus pass and I no longer hate taking the bus because I know I'm going to a job where I feel comfortable. I figure that I spent about $40 a day between taxi rides and take-out, which is really ridiculous when you think about it. And because I'm fairly busy at work now, always moving and doing something, I don't have time to eat out of boredom like I was doing before. I eat when I need to because of my diabetes, and that's pretty much it.
It's hard to believe that in a week I am already feeling and seeing so much positive change, but it just goes to show just how awful my job with Suckitas really was.
